Hulu, the joint venture of NBC and FOX to rival YouTube, launched a beta version with an e-mail to those who signed up with a temporary login. Once the beta user logs in, they are prompted to create a free, permanent account to browse the clips and full episodes from such shows as The Simpsons and The Office.

Check out this classic bit from Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” when Paris Hilton guest hosted.

Also featured on the website are television shows of the past and films produced under the parent company umbrellas. It is worth checking out and they are still accepting beta users.

Remember, all this is just “promotional.” Shh!
